Role-Based routing definitions allow you to assign tasks dynamically
– By using role-based routing, you can ensure that your process moves forward as quickly as possible without sacrificing accountability.

Inbox
– Users can view their current assignments and sign off their tasks once it’s completed.

Custom Statuses
– Define custom statuses for your editorial workflow. With custom statuses you can define your own post statuses and assign it to the success or failure path of the workflow.

Process history lets users retrace their steps
– For auditing purposes a record is created every time an article is routed through a workflow process. The process history also captures the comments added by the user during task sign off.

Reassign – How to pass the buck?
– What if you have been assigned a workflow task, but you feel you are not the appropriate person to complete it? No worry, you can use the re-assign feature to pass the task to another person.

Due Date and Email reminders help you to publish your articles on time.

Out of the box workflow

Reviews

We have the pro version of this plugin, to include teams and editorial comments, working with a team of ~100 authors and reviewers on a site with about 11K posts. The plugin works really well and is tremendously flexible in how we can configure our flows.

Perhaps best of all though has been the support. Quick to respond to questions and all improvements we suggested have made it into the product.

We loved this plugin so much we upgraded to the pro version for some added features and it’s worth every penny. Powerful functionality, and I can’t say enough about the great support. Quick and detailed responses to support tickets.

Just had some absolutely fantastic support from the guys at Oasis. We are using Oasis Workflow Pro, Oasis Workflow Editorial Comments and Oasis Workflow Groups and all three plugins are working 100% fine.

I had an issue with our corporate release process which Ravi helped sort out pretty much immediately.

Market are loving the plugin and the features it provides them – thoroughly recommend this one!

I rarely stop and take time for reviews, but Oasis Workflow warranted one. They have supported us with impressive speed and priority when it counted for us in a pinch. We had an issue on a client’s website and we were pleased to work with the plugin’s team to resolve and patch the plugin as needed.

Separately, Oasis Workflow solves one of WordPress’ biggest issues; scheduling content changes to pages/posts already published. The workflow logic is tricky to understand at first, but once you understand the concept of the way information flows, it’s not bad at all.

I couldn’t be more satisfied with Oasis. We’re using it on a client project, and had a super unique conflict with another feature of our site, and Ravi helped us all the way through it. The workflows are working great and I have trust that it’ll continue to be supported.

Users can view all the comments posted on the post from within their inbox. This will help the user to easily remember the context for the various comments/changes.
